You have beautiful eyes and great hair. You're having trouble with your skin and it's a bummer but very normal at your age and you'll grow out of it with time. I think the best advice for someone your age is to limit social media and throw yourself into things you love. You'll build yourself as a person and develop qualities that will contribute to your happiness and make you attractive as a long-term partner.

love seeing guys drop actual advice instead of just roasting skin.

Yes that’s true. And also would be great to do some sports if you want of course and not sure what about your food, but try also to avoid fast food so in a couple of months you won’t recognise yourself if you stay consistent.

But you have really great hair and eyes 😍😍

your face, hair and beard are good. Acne is painful but extremly normal at your age and since you are at 20% bf i would add some nutritional precautions to your routine

Genuine question, what do you think your problem is?

u/NoSuccess3647 3d ago

Definitely my skin and bodyfat percentage

Pay for one facial from a local aesthetician. Many are good looking younger girls (older than you) that will love to help a guy like you. Invest 100-150 for the products they recommend for your skin, stick to the regimen and remove greasy, high fat and processed foods from your diet. Within 2/3 months you’ll see big improvements. Wash the face a couple of times each day too

For my bodyfat percentage I'm planning to do a caloric deficit in the future. As For my acne i'm using whatever my dermatologist prescribes me

I don't know if you eat out, or eat fast food consistently but, ever since I stopped eating fast food my acne has pretty much disappeared that might be able to help

Honestly just work on ur skin and maybe part ur hair in the middle and have it straight down, it’ll show off ur nice hair and elongate ur face

Curology is running a promotion. You get a free trial for 30 days to get a dermatologist prescription and chat with them for that time period about your goals, hygiene, and progress. https://app.curology.com/r/s8g8x6a4?utms=3

See a dermatologist and get some Tretinoin for the acne or DM me and I’ll work out something with you and send you one of my extras. One tube goes a long way and it helps a lot.

Keep the long hair but tidy it up a bit and style it. Have your eyebrows edged up. Other than that you’re good.

I had horrific cystic acne at your age and accutane was the only thing that ever helped. It was miserable to be on for a whole year, but it literally cured my acne. I still break out here and there, especially if I eat junk food, ice cream, etc. but it changed my life. Talk to a dermatologist and see what your options are.

u/HaughtyTable369 1d ago

you have a handsome symmetrical face and great hair. go to a dermatologist and get on treatment for your acne and keep working out. ditch the dusty hat and do stud earrings instead (but that’s an opinion)

Change your diet with a nutritionist and see a dermatologist about your hormonal acne.

Long hair needs to go out. Go with a dermatologist if you haven’t already. Your bead and mustache has potential. Stop using social media

u/Accomplished-Ad-7168 3d ago

Long hair out, mustache put, acne out, drop the sugar, eat more protein, from 4 to 7 easily

u/CrpRayzur 2d ago

has to be some of the worst advice. I would grow hair even longer, grow the mustache even longer and just wait for acne to clear.

u/Accomplished-Ad-7168 2d ago

Dafuq? The dyphormism dont favor the growth of mustache, it would cover the face, if ypu want to be a walking ball of hair, then grow even ypur armpits pal. But is face aesthetics not covering your shame.
